Oh bloody hell, that's annoying! Why are people so odd!

It turns out my posty had put my parcel down the side of a crate in his van or something, so hadn't seen it when on his round. If I hadn't gone to the delivery office I probably would never have got it!

Chuffing hell @Flapearedknave. Glad you’ve got it but it’s so irritating trying to sort out things that other people cock up.

So after eking out my last pens and not taking any for over 4 weeks I’ve decided I definitely can’t live without it. I’ve ordered via lotus on Sunday and had my order delivered today. Current bmi 22.9. Last order sept 25 with family chemist. So I’m starting on 2.5mg again and will go up if it doesn’t have any impact.

Thanks for the info on your 9 month break @imnottoofussed. I currently have 5 pens in a stockpile which equates to about 9 months use so as soon as I am sent a 4 dose pen I am going to take a break from ordering and use them up.

I am not sure I will ever come off it completely.

@Choux I'm of a similar mind, also with a stockpile, although I did receive the dreaded 4 dose pen recently. (5mg Cloud Pharmacy). I probably won't order again as I usually do at their 3 week prompt email, but will possibly push to 5 weeks.

Yes I was glad that they didn’t have any issue with me ordering now with only a screenshot of my last order elsewhere being 9 months ago. So it’s quite a relief that there are pharmacies who we can go back to if necessary in the future if we do ever need to have a break or like you say using a stockpile.

I have just ordered a 7.5 pen from Swift Doctor, painful at £215 ( that includes a discount!) I had been taking 5mg every 5 days for three weeks & it has now built up in my system such that my appetite is nicely suppressed. I live in hope that oral versions come on the market within 6 months, budgeting for £200+ a month until that time is another challenge!🤞🏻

No concrete news on tablets yet. This is from last week:

I would love tablets. I'm so bored of injecting. I'm trying to lose a bit of regain but I keep forgetting to inject. I think I need to stop after my next pen as I really can't afford this anymore.

@KeepUndercover I’m fed up of injecting too. I’m bruising every time and I’m really struggling to find somewhere to inject as my stomach is just a mass of thick stretch marks.
